Liberty Belles - Angel Shamaya: Jailed


	Angel Shamaya: Jailed by Jennifer Freeman

Angel Shamaya, Founder and former Director of Keep and Bear Arms (www.keepandbeararms.com) was arrested recently on four misdemeanor counts of possessing firearms not properly registered in the state of Michigan. Mr. Shamaya has since been released from jail pending trial.

Many of the facts of this case remain private under the advice of Mr. Shamaya's legal representation.

The Liberty Belles has maintained a 5+ year relationship with Angel Shamaya during which time Mr. Shamaya became a charter lifetime member of our organization. Based on what we know about his character and his actions as an American citizen, we are inclined to believe that the charges against him are purely technical in nature.

Angel Shamaya has been a long-time advocate of freedom in all its aspects including the right of individuals to keep and bear arms. As the founder of Keep and Bear Arms, Angel Shamaya has demonstrated his willingness and selflesness when it comes to supporting, educating, and keeping the original vision of the United States alive for us and our children.

Now is the time when law-abiding citizens and patriots must rally our support for Angel. Surely we would want others to do the same for us if the situation were reversed.

Gary Marbut, President of the Montana Shooting Sports Association (http://www.mtssa.org) has been acting as a liaison between Angel and the freedom-loving public. He writes:

We need character references from you for Angel. There is a form letter for you to fill out and send back at: http://www.marbut.com/angel.

Be advised that Angel's problem is happening in the Detroit area, where a strong anti-gun sentiment exists in the criminal justice system. So, we are asking you to downplay gun-rights and gun-related comments. We will NOT deliver to the court any disparaging letters about Michigan or Michigan laws. Stay on the high ground.

Please, download a copy of the draft letter. Add one sentence of personal comment if you wish - no more.

This is for upstanding, legitimate citizens only. So, we want you to add your name, mail address, and phone number to the letter, so the judge seeing these will accept your letter and will not think you are some flake.

You may email your completed letter, either as an attached MSWord (.doc) file, or pasted into the body of your email, either to newslinks@keepandbeararms.com or to mssa@mtssa.org. So we can pick it out from our many other emails, PLEASE make the SUBJECT of your email: "Angel reference." We will see that these letters get to Angel's attorney ASAP.

Please pass this on to your friends for action. We need letters from everyone who knows or knows of, and appreciates Angel.

Thanks loads for your help.
